Cooking stories

Cooking stories

Join Bob Wiley at York Public Library at noon today, May 14, and revel in the art of cooking with a man who has taken unexpected turns in life and uses those journeys to find the strength and vitality to share not only food, but the stories that go with it. In "A Collection of Short Stories," Bob previously published, he uses real-life events — his childhood, daring adolescence, days of "Mr. Mom," parenting, and medically forced retirement — to weave entertaining vignettes. It is with this same approach to storytelling that Wiley has compiled his cookbook, "Bon Appetit," above.

Whodunit at York Harbor Inn

"Dying to See You" is the latest comic Whodunit! from George Hosker-Bouley for the York Park and Recreation Department's Youth Enrichment Program. Taking a step back in time, this crazy story involves students returning to their junior high school reunion circa 1986. Shoulder pads, big hair and some of the decade's most popular songs combine with a story that finds the students of a class reunion under scrutiny after one of their most-hated teachers winds up dead! Who is the murderer? The audience will decide who is the most guilty as they enjoy a gourmet buffet from the chefs of the York Harbor Inn. Showtime is 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 16, at the York Harbor Inn. Doors open at 6 p.m. Reservations are required via 363-1040. Tickets are $46, children's tickets are $26, and both include the show and buffet.
